Mentoring for Writers & Artists
My role as Mentor is to team up with the writer/artist and offer support and guidance along the way, optimally nurturing the project at hand. I understand it takes courage to create in addition to motivation and discipline. Hopes, fears, and distractions must be addressed.
As creative individuals, we must protect our time, energy, and solitude. Creative practice requires honing and I have found, builds from seemingly small steps (imperfectly) maintained by integrating intentional changes to our habits, paced over time.
My stance is also to inspire with realistic hope and guidance, facilitating discussion both of process and project in a way that is intended to foster positive development personally and creatively. These sessions are designed to advance the creator and the creation!
